Scam?

Tried to sell something online. Buyer suggested to use PayPal and I agreed. Suddenly received a code from PayPal like the confirmation ones.. Buyer was telling me that the code would be required by the buyer to finish the transfer and confirm that the money goes to the right person. Asked which option was used as it was against all logic. Buyer said it would have been a security piece at friends&family. I never heard of sth. like this, it made no sense other than trying to hack my account. Am I right with it? Thanks.

NO with that code they can hack your account.

No money in paypal balance = they have not paid.
